…"When you sense a mental intrusion into your brain, immediately clear your mind. Don't think, don't recall, don't feel.
At the same time, you must mobilize your mental power to construct a false…"
After Little Goku quickly flipped through the book, Dumbledore began to instruct Little Goku in Occlumency.
This is a very advanced magic, with a considerable difficulty factor, and it involves mental power and the brain.
So, even with Little Goku's exceptional magic talent, it would be impossible for him to learn it quickly.
However, Dumbledore still decided to prioritize teaching Little Goku this magic.
Because Little Goku is too innocent; if he cannot learn to shield his brain, some ill-intentioned individuals might see his memories and thoughts.
He feared Little Goku would be exploited and tricked to his demise.
Therefore, with Little Goku having established a certain magic foundation over these two months, the first advanced magic he taught was Occlumency.
Once Occlumency is taught, he will teach Little Goku Mind Reading.
Occlumency helps Little Goku prevent secrets from leaking, and Mind Reading helps Little Goku detect hostility and prevent deception.
Even if he cannot fully master it, just getting started would already be very effective.
As for those highly destructive advanced spells, he was not in a hurry to teach them to Little Goku, as they were not as powerful as Little Goku's Qigong Wave.
At five in the afternoon, Dumbledore ended today's lesson an hour early.
"Tomorrow is Halloween, and there's a feast tonight. All the teachers and students of the school will attend.
It's almost time; let's go too!"
Halloween is Hogwarts' annual most important festival, besides the Sorting Ceremony at the beginning of the school year and Christmas.
All teachers and students of the school attend.
Little Goku immediately nodded with anticipation upon hearing this. He had heard from the Little Wizards during training this morning that there would be many delicious foods at the feast that weren't usually available.
Following Dumbledore to the Great Hall and sitting at the long table reserved for the Professors, he noticed that the Great Hall had changed significantly from usual.
Colorful Halloween decorations and countless magic bats fluttered on the walls and ceiling.
There were also giant pumpkin lanterns with candles floating in the air.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Dumbledore picked up a golden spoon and tapped a glass, and plates of delicious food instantly appeared on the empty golden plates on the table.
However, just as Dumbledore was about to announce the start of the feast, Professor Quirrell suddenly pushed open the Great Hall doors and rushed in.
"Troll… Troll in the Underground Room, there's a Troll in the Underground Room…"
Professor Quirrell, his face filled with horror, collapsed to the ground after saying this, seemingly having fainted from fright.
Instantly, all the Little Wizards were stunned.
However, they were not afraid, nor did they scream; they merely began to discuss why a Troll would break into Hogwarts' Underground Room.
At the same time, they mocked the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for being so timid as to be scared unconscious by a Troll.
If it had been before, this scene certainly would not have played out.
But for the past two months, they had seen various dangerous magical creatures chasing and training Little Wizards by the Black Lake every morning.
Some of them had even experienced it themselves several times before dropping out.
They had long since lost any fear of a magical creature of the Troll's caliber.
If a Troll had broken into the Great Hall, they might have been a bit panicked, but it was only in the Underground Room, so there was nothing to fear.
"Quiet!"
Dumbledore used a Sonorus Charm to quell the noisy discussions of the Little Wizards, narrowed his eyes at the unconscious Professor Quirrell on the ground, and then said to Little Goku beside him:
"Professor Goku, Professor McGonagall, would you please deal with that Troll in the Underground Room?"
Trolls are XXXX-rated dangerous magical creatures, typically twelve feet tall and weighing over a ton.
Their skin has some resistance to magic, and they love to eat raw meat, including humans.
An average Wizard still faces some danger when confronting a Troll, as many magic spells are ineffective.
So, to be safe, he sent Little Goku to handle it.
Little Goku doesn't need to use magic or Ki; he can instantly kill a Troll with a single punch.
Professor McGonagall's main role was to lead the way, as Little Goku hadn't explored the castle much and was unfamiliar with its Underground Room.
Her speed was faster than other Professors, and in a castle where Apparition could not be used, she could get Little Goku to the Underground Room to find the Troll the fastest.
"Professor Son, follow me!"
Professor McGonagall nodded, her body swiftly transforming into a tabby cat, and she dashed out of the Great Hall.
Little Goku's figure flickered, keeping close behind the tabby cat.
The tabby cat was very fast, but there was still a considerable gap between her and him.
"Is this an Animagus?"
He had specifically asked Dumbledore to explain Animagus transformation before, and this was his first time truly seeing it.
"Severus, guard the door. Madam Pomfrey, check on Quirrell."
Seeing Little Goku and Professor McGonagall disappear from the Great Hall, Dumbledore gave Snape a look.
He had long suspected Quirrell had issues.
Quirrell was once Ravenclaw's most outstanding graduate and was renowned in the Wizarding World for his exceptional magic abilities.
This was why he had invited Quirrell to become Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor.
But this summer, Quirrell returned from a trip abroad with a drastic change in personality.
Not only did he stammer, but he also became extremely timid, always wrapped in a turban, smelling strongly of garlic.
His own explanation was that he had been frightened by Vampires and Witches during his travels.
However, this didn't fool him, because he knew that Quirrell had traveled to Albania, which was where Voldemort was hiding.
So he suspected that Quirrell might have already pledged allegiance to Voldemort, becoming a Death Eater.
The Gringotts robbery case confirmed his suspicions.
However, he did not immediately expose Quirrell's identity; firstly, there was no evidence, and secondly, he wanted to follow the clues to see what Voldemort's conspiracy was.
Having Hagrid bring the philosophers stone back to Hogwarts and involving Quirrell in the philosophers stone's protective checkpoints was also a further test.
Now he suspected that the Troll in the Underground Room might have been released by Quirrell, with the aim of distracting them to steal the philosophers stone.
If it were before, to be safe, he would have had the prefects of each year lead the students back to their dormitories, assigned some teachers to guard the students, and some teachers to deal with the Troll.
Then he would secretly have Snape keep an eye on Quirrell.
But now, because of the ki magic lessons, the Little Wizards no longer feared Trolls.
So he simply remained inactive, letting Little Goku deal with the Troll; he believed Little Goku could easily handle any number of Trolls Quirrell might release.
Then, he and all the teachers would stay in the Great Hall, both to protect the students' safety and to keep an eye on Professor Quirrell.
And while they were at it, Madam Pomfrey could examine Quirrell, as he suspected there was something wrong with Quirrell's head, which he always kept wrapped in cloth…
